About Today, after a delightful lunch with my husband we went walked along the waterfront, actually on a grassy area. Beautiful, trees, ocean, large ships, and sadly, several homeless folks.

As we walked, I saw a Bible laying in the dirt, the wind blowing a page, even though it was wet and dirty. I don't know why I took a picture of this, I don't have a clue.

I thought about this for quite awhile on the way home. The more I thought about it, the sadder I became...

I found myself thinking (sometimes a dangerous thing..:) What is 'the story' here, and I pondered all kinds of things of course. Did someone read it? Who? Did that person (or people) have hope? Or not.......it makes me wonder.

In any case, I felt compelled to compose an abstract somehow bring in my 'find' and my feelings......

Not to worry, I just get like this occasionally.

This abstract is made up from three photos, all taken today.

If you would like to see them, I will put on the originals.

Sorry this is so lengthy! LOL :)

Hi Lory. This is an interesting and very beautiful composition and I surely would like to see the three original photos. Nice story. I think a find like that would have got me also thinking and probably would have inspired me as well. Fantastic abstract, Lori
Thanks for sharing

Hi Lori, this is excellently done and the result has an atmosphere and meaning of deep feeling and thinking. In that sense it appears spiritual and holy to me. The right fodder for pondering thist ime of the year. Thanks for sharing. Best regards Jorg

You have visually conceptualized your thoughts and wonderment in a way that truly touches me. It is GOOD to think of such things in a sensitive way. Your story and image is powerful and are meant to be shared, causing each of us to stop and reflect also. Well done Lori!

Best regards - Bill

Hi lori!
I dragged it and got the 2 pictures as layers on top of each other but couldn?t find the opacity percentages ur taking about! What dose it do? Would it fade one to show the other? Cuz right now the image in the background is almost totally covered with the 2nd layer
thanx alot

Dear Lori, Very nice work and message. Your "about" here did get a tad long like that guy with the long name (can't remember it right now) that's always going on about something. Works very well with the black frame. Oh, a friend's theory on how the bible got on the ground was it probably fell out of Air Force One since they only use it as a prop - but, you know, it's just a theory - who really knows..... (my friend's wacky)Take care, Mark PS. Did you recieve my thesis?

Hi Arwa,
I started this once and then AOL just up and died! So now I start over. You wanted to know about dragging one photo over another: Open two photos...which ever one is 'active', go to it's layers view, click and hold down the layer then drag (still holding down the left button of mouse) it on top of the inactive photo then let go. Then you can play with the opacity percentages of to to the little box that is just to the left of 'opacity' and play around with the various blending modes...MUCH FUN!
Hope I explained this one OK, I don't always put these instructions into a good explainations!

Email me if you need some help.

Fabulous work Lori, this is great - opens up the mind to experimenting :-)

Love the composition and no apologies needed for the about ... I give a 60:40 weighting between photo and about hmmm that makes 100% :-)

Best wishes,
Steve

WOW!
You managed to convey your emotions and feeling perfectly here! Even before reading the about I had the same thoughts about the people who read the book ( not knowing it was the bible ) but the fact that it?s a holly book thrown on the ground make even sadder! The landscape in the background is reassuring that even tho sometime hope is lost u can still find it again by the rive side
Im not so sure about the flowers a bit of a cliché maybe if u could add a picture of people dresses in white sheets or a sad tormented portrait, never the less an amazing PS work! into my favorite
One question how do u drag different images on top of each other?

Nicely done, Lori!
Excellent composite and a telling story.
Best regards, Chris
P.S. I'm reminded of the old saying: "Bibles that are falling apart are usually read by people who aren't."
